LOB observation

revcarte · 08-17-2011, 02:35 PM

I am enjoying playing the 75 Reds even though three of the player's names are not printed properly. They have a winning record but I have noticed that the team routinely has 10-14 left on base at the end of games. I do not know if this was a problem for the real 75 Reds but it certainly is frustrating. Is anyone else noticing this LOB thing?

I, too, am playing '75. In the last 10 games, the Reds LOB has been: 10, 10, 7, 9, 11, 7, 9, 3, 7, 7.

does that seem normal or like a lot to you?? mine have gone as high as 14 lob. Also, a lot of underchievers. through 38 games Tony Perez was hitting .170 with no HR's. Rose was hitting .254 and Bench was hitting .220 something. The only reason they are winning at all is Griffey and Morgan and Concepcion. By the way, do the names being incorrect bother you?? Pete Rose Sr, Ken Griffey Sr., and Joe L Morgan??? Bothers me but I cannot fix it.

I don't know what you mean by "routinely", but if you look at this Game Log, it appears that it was not unusual for them to leave that many on base. It shouldn't be surprising, because they had a very good team on base percentage (led the league), and part of leaving men on base is getting them on base in the first place.
